The Boathouse Reviews
Our stay on September 5,6 and 7 was horribly dissapointing.
To start with we had requested a corner room facing the lake. Our reservation had been made four months in advance. When we arrived this was not available. The staff offered to compensate valet and resort fees.
The following day we were out of the room most of the day. When we returned at 5:30 we found our room had not been cleaned. We notified the front desk and it took 40 minutes before someone arrived...read full review
While taking my husband on a birthday weekend The Edgewater hotel did a fabulous job of acting horrifyingly inhuman and excessively rude. During our check in the agency experienced a system error.

The Boathouse is a restaurant with a charming atmosphere, especially during the summer when its picturesque views of the lake come alive. The location is great for enjoying the views while dining. The food is a highlight, with the Mahi Fish Tacos, Power Bowl, and Cookie Sandwich being excellent choices that burst with freshness and flavor. The fish & chips also received praise for its amazing breading. However, service can be a letdown, with long waits for drinks and food, and a lack of attention from waitstaff. There have been instances where orders have been misplaced or forgotten, leading to delays and frustration. While some dishes like the shrimp ceviche may not appeal to everyone, the staff is very friendly. Despite these issues, the restaurant's potential is evident, and with some improvements, it could become a go-to spot for a pleasant dining experience.
